My son is obsessed with horses. And when I say obsessed, I mean OBSESSED. My house looks like a horse shrine. They are in every nook and cranny. So what else was a mom to do but throw her horse lover a Horse Derby birthday party?

I didn't want to do the typical horse party and have it cowboy related and I also didn't want a bunch of browns. So I chose the derby theme and used red and royal blue. His birthday was the weekend before the actual Kentucky Derby so I couldn't have planned that better (well, unless it was actually on the day of the Derby but that would have been asking too much.)
